This is the second in a series of cards using the Apron of Love bundle. This time I took it a whole new direction - no Bridal Shower look, lol. Although you COULD use it for another Couples Shower card if you want - how cute for the guy's gift?!I did use the Dad stamp for a Father's Day or Dad's Birthday card - but you could switch the background up with a wood emboss or wood paper background for a generic male card.Here is your Short and Simple video!

Cute Bridal Shower or New Home Card with the Apron of Love Bundle
Hello from Atlanta! I am busy in the hotel room trying to get this posted before the big party (Like it's 1988!) starts in just over an hour.... I got back from Ireland after nearly 2 fun filled (and totally exhausting weeks) LAST Friday.... with Easter and Jet Lag and just trying to get everything in order home wise and work wise this past week has been rough. Even the party theme *1988* was melancholy. That time of my life was a transition from living in Scotland to moving to … [Read more...] about Cute Bridal Shower or New Home Card with the Apron of Love Bundle

This is an easy to make Celebration card from Camp. I pulled out the fun Daisy Designer Paper that I have had hidden away since Autumn.

Heartfelt Blooms with 3x the Sale-A-Bration!
This card is another from March camp. It is such a fun technique. I have tried to find the demonstrator's site who came up with it - she called it Black Ice. I was sure that I saved it - but now I don't know if it is on my phone, laptop, Facebook...or just where I marked it - and the technique seems to be everywhere.....I am flying through these posts before our trip. When I get home I will look again to see if I can find her name. I know that she mentioned she and … [Read more...] about Heartfelt Blooms with 3x the Sale-A-Bration!
Petals & More Series Card 3: Brusho Meets Glimmer Paper!
When I started on Thursday morning my goal had been to do 3 or 4 cards using the new list of surprise products that Stampin' Up! had given us that were now eligible to be FREE as part of Sale-A-Bration. If you have followed along with this 'series' - you know that didn't quite happen. As it is - I owned everything but the designer paper (sorry, the poodle in that paper...just doesn't do it for me). I had already used the Glimmer Paper in 4 of my camp cards, knew the dies would … [Read more...] about Petals & More Series Card 3: Brusho Meets Glimmer Paper!

As I was cleaning out my phone to make room for more pictures to take on our trip - and getting all the video uploaded that will post while we are gone - I ran across these that I took one really cold day.It was so close to SPRING on the calendar - but those of us that live in the Midwest know that can mean it can be so cold or so warm - it can change from year to year! 2018 has been a cold one.But a trip to a couple of craft stores and Home Goods and you can bring the bright colors of … [Read more...] about Bringing Spring In!
Reverse Watercolor with Brusho – Card Two from Petal Palette Bundle
So - if you saw the last video I posted - did you notice that the 'scrap' piece of paper I was working on was actually a half sheet of Shimmery White cardstock? Well - it makes a fabulous appearance again today. In fact I think the scrap from card 1 makes an even prettier card 2!If you missed the first card - you will need to scroll back one post and go see how to create the background.
